No Cutch, plenty of Jaso. Billy Hamilton already has 2 hits and the game hasn't even started!

Please stop talking, Joe Block. It's ok to have momentary silence. You don't have to fill every second of air time with talking, like telling us how many Pirates have the initials JB. Please stop talking, Joe Block. >:( >:( >:(

Why is it that this team plays below the level of rookie/mediocre/bad pitchers so often?

And Cervelli is gone already! Why do they keep rushing him back? This is insane!

I dont think they're rushing him at all..  The guy is a walking, talking, piece of glass.  If the guy isn't making a scene about taking a ball off the mask or rubbing a bruise every game, or "walking off" a blocked pitch it's a miracle.



I've never seen a catcher act like such a baby.   I'm beginning to think it's a psychological disorder of some kind.  Like Muchausen syndrome or something.   It's completely out of control.



Put him on the DL and call it what it seems to be. DL for lack of intestinal fortitude

It's insane how guys like Jaso and Stewart continue to play. This management team is in for one bad offseason with this fanbase if they don't change a number of things and cut out a lot of the stuff they are doing now. It's just completely and totally unacceptable.

Ain't it so! Maybe a more sensible manager would make a case for Diaz with his GM. But Hurdle likes his veterans and seems content just to show up, make up a lineup ensuring everyone gets plenty of rest, and follow his formulas regardless of the results. And he's probably got a job for life since he can always be the buffer that deflects blame away from the owner and FO.
